San Angelo Police Department Presents Merit Award to Local News Director

 

SAN ANGELO, TX - In a surprise ceremony held on Thursday, June 15, San Angelo Police Chief Frank Carter presented a special Merit Award to KLST and KSAN news Director, David Wagner. 

On January 13, Wagner answered a call from Gary Ray Wright, who told Wagner he was going to initiate a police standoff.  After speaking with Wright, Wagner called San Angelo Police to warn them about Wright’s threat.
